This site is the primary online presence for ACRL-Oregon, which serves a dual role as the Oregon chapter of the Association of College and Research Libraries (ACRL) as well as the Academic Library Division of the Oregon Library Association (OLA).

I just received this month’s SPARC Open Access Newsletter in my inbox. It contains a hefty and thorough look at November’s election and the effects of it on public access initiatives that are underway, such as FRPPA (the bill that would extend the NIH Public Access Policy to 10 other funding agences).

Public access to federally funded research was one of the talking points at Library Advocacy Day back in July.

Take a peek at Peter Suber’s rundown of the issue here and happy reading!
